270 Minako Kuroishi "silent but noisy"

I create etching works. I would spend days and days to cram a chaotic mixture of various feelings from daily life into a copperplate. These feelings could be even incredibly negative and aggressive, but the results would always appear delicately clean and beautifully calm. Creating this calmness - this is what I would be obsessed with when I do etching.

271 Yasuaki Kuroda "contextile"

Subjective views are missing, symbolic subjects are not seen, and no guide books provided. Horizontal lines are to be crossed; a straight line is to form a circle. What would it feel like in a world like this?

272 Sachiko Jin "blink/vision"

What is seen outside your body is reflected in a small eyeball / you cannot see what is reflected in other people's eyes. / What I am aiming for here is that providing a screen which would demonstrate a world being completely explicable in words, and sharing moments that any words cannot be shared to describe what you all see.
